Contraindications:

Medical Conditions
If any of the below apply to you, consult your physician prior to sauna use:

Cardiovascular Issues, Obesity or Diabetes – Individuals suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory problems, or diabetes should consult a physician prior to use. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in an effort to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment via the skin (perspiration) and respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential to increase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature.

Medications – Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician since some medications may induce drowsiness, while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. Diuretics, barbiturates, and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. Anticholinergics, such as amitriptyline, may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent, heat stroke. Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke. Individuals diagnosed with medical conditions such as anhidrosis that may limit or prevent your ability to sweat should not use the sauna.

Alcohol and Drug Abuse – Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgment; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications prior to a sauna session may lead to unconsciousness.

Elderly – The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core body temperature. If elderly, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

Pregnancy – Use of a Full Spectrum InfraRed Sauna may result in an increase in core body temperatures. it is not recommended that pregnant ladies, if you suspect you may be pregnant or in the process of trying to get pregnant, you should consult a physician before considering the use of an infrared sauna.

Children – The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults.
This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands, and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. Souler Float does not allow minors under the age of 17 use of the sauna.

Chronic Conditions / Diseases Associated with Reduced Ability to Sweat or Perspire – Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors, and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating. Consult a physician.

Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone to Bleeding – The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding.

Fever and Insensitivity to Heat – Individuals with insensitivity to heat or who have a fever should not use the sauna until the fever subsides.

Menstruation – Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase menstrual flow. This should not preclude sauna use.

Joint Injury – Recent (acute) joint injury should not be heated for the first 48 hours or until the swollen symptoms subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.

Implants – Metal pins, rods, artificial joints, or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior to using.

Surgeries – If you’ve had any abdominal surgery, c-section, tummy tuck, or breast augmentation, consult your physician before using the Sauna.

Pacemakers / Defibrillators – The magnets used to assemble our saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doctor the possible risks this may cause. Serious heart conditions, disease or unstable angina, stroke, heart attack or arterial disease should not use the sauna.

In the rare event that you experience pain, discomfort, dizziness or exhaustion immediately discontinue sauna use.

Contraindications:

Pregnancy –Avoid use during pregnancy due to insufficient safety data.

Photosensitivity – Individuals with conditions that increase sensitivity to light (e.g., lupus) should refrain from use.

Skin Conditions – Those with active skin infections, rashes, or open wounds should not use the therapy.

Cancer – Consult a healthcare provider if you have a history of skin cancer or other malignancies.

Medications – Certain medications, particularly those that cause photosensitivity (e.g., some antibiotics), may interact negatively with light therapy.

Precautions:

Consultation – Always consult a healthcare professional before starting therapy, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.

Skin Type – Individuals with darker skin tones may experience different effects; caution is advised.

General Advice:

Monitor skin reactions during and after treatment.
Follow manufacturer guidelines for device use to minimize risks.
For personalized advice, consider discussing your specific health situation with a qualified healthcare provider.

Contraindications:

Medical Conditions:

It is not recommended if you are taking any medication which may have adverse effects due to surrounding my body in warm temperature.

Zero Gravity Dry Floatation may lower blood pressure; extra care should be taken when standing up after a session. If you have a history of high or low blood pressure, medical authorization or medically controlled is recommended.

If you suffer from vertigo when lying down, the same is likely to occur during a dry float session.

If you have chronic heart or kidney disease, you will need to seek medical authorization before your scheduling your session.

If you are diabetic with insulin dependency, it is recommended that you have medical authorization and is under control before scheduling your session.

Severe Cardiovascular Issues: Individuals with heart disease or severe hypertension should avoid this therapy.

Respiratory Problems: Conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may pose risks.

Seizure Disorders: Those with a history of seizures should consult a healthcare provider before use.

Skin Conditions: Open wounds, infections, or severe skin conditions can be aggravated by the floatation environment.

Pregnancy:Pregnant individuals should seek medical advice before participating, especially in later trimesters.

Mental Health: Individuals with severe anxiety, claustrophobia, or other mental health disorders may find the experience distressing.

Substance Use: Avoid use under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as this can impair judgment and safety.

Recent Surgeries or Injuries: Those recovering from surgery or with recent injuries should consult a healthcare professional.

Consultation Recommended: Always consult a healthcare provider before starting dry floatation therapy, especially if there are existing health concerns.
